Jengel and the Halos goes on the road!

Getaway loss last night, no worries. Jhonny Peralta (parents odd spellers) beats you sometimes.



I am guest blogging for a sports website. More deets to come. Watch this space.

Meanwhile, the Angels are in Toronto, where I hope they hang out with Geddy.

Sunday 8/9: Halos rocked 7-0

Rookie Derek Holland throws a shutout for the Rangers.

The Angels are reeling, and it doesn't get any easier with the Rays coming to town.

I feel like that Britsih ogre from Top Chef Masters when I say "there's not enough protein on the plate!

Halos Bounce Back

Weaver pitches gem, Halos take 2nd game of series with Rangers, 3-2.

Crucial rubber match this afternoon. Derek Holland, unknown even to this fantasy geek, takes the bump against Angels' ace John Lackey. Go get them, boys!

As for me, I'm going to put on some Jorts!!!

Last Night: Rangers 11, Halos 6

Texas hits 5 HRs cut Halos lead to 3 1/2 games.

The White Sox wore Shorts once!!!

For real. It was a gimmick thought of by the master publicity hound Bill Veeck.

Halos 9, White Sox 5

Erick Aybar leads three HR barrage

Love me some weekday matinee Baseball. Also enjoy weekday movie mats. I have always had the tendencies of a much older man. I also fancy part time jobs, saunas, velcro shoes and lunches consisting of coffee and crabmeat on toast.

White Sox 5, Halos 4

The Sox downed the Angels last night using that US Cell formula that has largely worked under Manager Ozzie Guilen, even culminating in an unlikely World Series Championship in 2005. Get a bunch of big, older DH/1B types (see Thome, Konerko, Dye) to pull up their Sox high, take some walks, and jack three run bomers over the short porch. An equally meaty hard throwing pitcher (see Buerlhe, Floyd, Jenks) will keep the team in the game. Last night the hero was old school Jim Thome and the pitcher Gavin Floyd.
The Angels recent offensive barrage seems to have hit a snag. Lets hope we bounce back today in the matinee. Ervin Santana takes the hill against lefty John Danks at 11 AM PST.
